Brazilian Police Foil Bomb Plot at Lady Gaga’s Copacabana Concert Attended by Over 2 Million Fans

Brazilian authorities successfully thwarted a bomb attack targeting Lady Gaga’s historic concert on Copacabana Beach, which drew 2.1 million attendees, according to Rio city officials. The Rio de Janeiro Civil Police, in coordination with the Justice Ministry, revealed that the foiled plot was orchestrated by a group known for promoting hate speech and radicalizing teenagers through violent and self-harm content as a form of social identity. Authorities stated the suspects aimed to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails. The Justice Ministry indicated the group identified as part of Gaga’s “Little Monsters” fan base. The operation, triggered by cyber intelligence and a tip-off from state police, led to multiple arrests and searches across four Brazilian states, uncovering extremist digital networks targeting youth.
